mid summer update

it's so hard to believe how fast summer is flying by. it's back to school sale time already and we are just getting used to the hot weather! can anybody tell me how to slow the time a bit, i am not ready for summer to be done yet.

cucumbers, marketmore hybrid, in the garden. they are doing well and i am making lots of cucumber salad as well as sharing them with co-workers.

i am beginning to think that squash plants could take over the world...

tall tomato vines and lots of green tomatoes-ripen, ripen, ripen...

the herbs have filled out the bed nicely and we have enjoyed making pesto and using the dill in cucumber salad as well as potato salad.

my first bloom for the great sunflower project

the bronze fennel is ready; bring on the caterpillars, we want swallowtails!
